Abstract

Currently, the Municipality of Palora Canton initiated a new municipal Camal, so it does not have a risk prevention plan, the lack of an occupational safety program has caused accidents and injuries in the work area, added to the lack of knowledge about prevention by workers, therefore, the objective of this research was to develop the "Risk prevention plan to improve work performance through a safety and health management system in the Municipal Camal of Palora Canton". The applied methodology had a qualitative approach, a non-experimental design was used since the variables were not manipulated; documentary and field research were developed where the population under study were the workers of the company, thus instruments, techniques, and methods were applied for the collection and gathering of information, such as surveys to the workers of the slaughterhouse. Through the development of this methodology, it was determined that the municipal slaughterhouse does not have a risk prevention plan, the employees are not trained in occupational risk prevention, there are inadequate working conditions, lack of protective equipment, and the workers are exposed to direct contact with risk factors. So, it is concluded that the company does not have a risk prevention plan which prevents workers from performing their duties properly, so it is proposed an occupational safety and health program through strategies that manage to identify, evaluate, and prevent accidents that endanger the health of workers
